Could you build this?
Partial Building an offline native Mac app with local Whisper inference and low-latency local LLM post-processing requires native macOS integration and model optimization.
What it would actually take: A native macOS app using Swift/AppKit with global hotkey interception and accessibility API permissions to inject keystrokes. It requires bundling and optimizing local models using whisper.cpp (or Apple's CoreML Whisper) alongside an on-device small language model (like Llama 3 via llama.cpp) running efficiently without draining battery or causing noticeable latency.
